The Rolling Stones Street Fighting Man “No Expectations” 45 RARE!!!!. Condition is Used but in great condition! Shipped with USPS Media Mail.

Year: 1968

Format: 7-inch vinyl, 45 rpm

Topping the list of pricey Stones' wax is the original 1968 U.S. picture-sleeve version of this feisty single. The front and rear covers feature black-and-white photos of heavy handed police tactics deployed at demonstration riots that broke out in the U.S. that year.

Normally, this might not be a problem for the bad-boy Stones, but the month of the single's August 1968 release also saw the ugly, infamous riot at the Chicago Democratic National Convention. Record company execs got cold feet over photos that could be deemed offensive and ordered all copies destroyed. But not before as many as eighteen copies escaped into the world. In 2011, one sold at a Bonhams auction for $17,000.
